Solar grazing offers an important avenue for making solar sites more ecologically sustainable, but how can solar developers design and manage sites to ensure the site is eco-friendly from construction all the way through decommissioning? ​Tyler Kanczuzewsk and his team from Inovateus Solar will join us to discuss approaches to building solar projects with eco-friendly…

Proper vegetation and soil management planning on solar sites is key to good land stewardship and setting up a project for successful vegetation cover. With the application of industry leading revegetation practices to prioritize soils, vegetation establishment and success, solar site development can have positive impacts on the foundation of these facilities with regards to…

Join us for the Fourth Annual Membership Meeting of the American Solar Grazing Association! ​2023 was a groundbreaking year as ASGA's membership grew, we launched a number of new initiatives, and our members represented solar grazing and its benefits at events across the U.S.! We were excited to see solar grazing become even more important to…

In September we invited you to take part in the first-ever U.S. Solar Grazing Census. We received an outstanding 129 responses and are ready to share some preliminary results!  ​For this month’s call we will share an updated picture of the scale and reach of solar grazing in the U.S. based on the census data.…

We're heading north to check out what's happening with agrivoltaics in the higher latitudes for our May webinar. ​Alaska and the northern US are developing innovative agrisolar systems that respond to local food and energy needs. In this month’s webinar, we will explore the unique challenges and opportunities that northern agrivoltaics holds for farmers, solar…

How do you make solar arrays cattle proof and what does cattle grazing under solar panels look like now? ​To provide an update on some of the latest developments in solar cattle, we’ve invited 3 sets of speakers to discuss how they’re integrating cattle grazing operations on community scale arrays on farms in Minnesota, Massachusetts,…

The Solar and Storage Industries Institute (SI2) is conducting survey and case study research into the barriers to growth in the agrivoltaics space across multiple stakeholder groups, including farmers and solar developers, under a grant from the Department of Energy. ​As a part of that research, SI2 launched their Solar + Farms survey in February…

What does the complete ecosystem picture of a solar farm grazed by sheep or cattle look like? That’s precisely the question that Anna Clare Monlezun (Graze LLC) and the teams at Silicon Ranch, White Oak Pastures, Colorado State University, Quanterra Systems, and National Renewable Energy Laboratory have set out to answer in their collaborative research…

It’s an understatement to say that Will Harris strongly believes in his bold vision for how agriculture can be done to make things better for people, animals, and the land. He’s living that vision by practicing regenerative grazing (also known as “regenerative agriculture”) on White Oak Pastures in Bluffton, GA, the farm that has been…
